US and Chinese ships on the lookout..... all in one basket.... now if only someone triggered a bomb in one of their ships..... WW3 profit

if it was an UFO, why did the Air Force not scramble their jets for visual confirmation?

the military shouldnt take their suspicious off and call it a glitch... the authorities must put national security above budget... there's no excuse about it

my main question is this: Did RMAF scramble their jets upon discovering a UFO over national airspace? if they did, did they manage to make contact with the UFO? if they didn't, why didn't they? and how do we confirm whether they did?

i don't care about MH370... i'm more concern if RMAF had tried to get visual confirmation when they saw a UFO on their radar...

by reading ur post, this is what i understand:

1. The military radar does not display flight numbers nor flight details like they do on an ATC screen.

2. The MH370 blip the military saw on their radar screen appeared like any other normal flights, so they wouldn't have known any abnormalies.

Correct?

So my next question is, how does military know if the blip they see on their screens is a threat?

As you said, the hijacked (or not) MH370 followed the turn back procedure, and therefore military was unable to confirm an unidentified threat and took it as a glitch.

I hate to agree: the military is at fault because they did not confirm their suspicious with DCA, thus national security was compromised.

I have been inside the ATC room in DCA Subang Jaya. The military ATC is just next to it! (same room but partitioned)

Regardless of who's fault it is, our military are now seen as inefficient, locally and internationally, and will now have to shoulder the blame. It's now too late to convince the world that the Malaysian military still has what it takes to protect this nation.

Quite frankly, I'm not too bothered what the world thinks. I am bothered by the fact that Malayian military ATC would gamble the nation's sovereignty and security by not confirming their suspicious with civilian ATC.

I hope MH370 incident will be the catalyst for change. Whether that change turns out badly or better will based entirely what the government's deicisons are.

CNN, NYT, other foreign press will now seek to find further weaknesses of the Malaysian military just to satiate their readers hunger. Only a matter of time before they find out several former military personnel flex their butts at some prominent figures. That story, if the press decides to publish, will surely their increase traffic views.

Then it is high time that government and military approves the budget to implement the necessary integration so such thing does not happen in the near future. They better not sit idly by while the enemy of this nation are gathering valuable information of our military flaws and plan their next attack.

National security should be put above all else, even if they have to stretch the national budget.
